I still don't think the Voat community is big enough. If there is interesting material on algorithms, it will probably end up most viewed in /v/programming. Example: Algorithms visualization.
I'd say there's definitely a distinction to be made between programming and proper CS. There's already an (abandoned?) compsci board though - perhaps it would have made more sense to revive it instead?
The problem with /v/computerscience and /v/compsci is that they are very broad fields. I like algorithms and data-structures more than networking, operating systems, and databases.
I think places like /v/programming put more emphasis on the day to day programming and software development aspects than the more theoretical aspects of CS.

Seems nice, but I'm not sure the Voat community is large enough to move this out of /v/programming.

Maybe? Most of what I have seen on /v/programming seems to have little to do with data-structures/algorithms though.

Guess we will see. Programming already has 13K subscribers which is pretty cool.

And there is /v/computerscience.

I hope people come and give data-structures and algorithms some much needed love.

I subscribe. Show me algostructure scale internet linearly.
